2. DRIVER aggregation activities
Objective: open and re-usable aggregation
Based on reference D-NET production system
Including eventually all repositories worldwide
But not at the price of reducing re-usability
As an infrastructure complement to others
… BASE, OAIster, ROAR, OpenDOAR etc.
Clue:Technical & semantic interoperaibility
A bundle of measures shall help
Guidelines, Validator, Normalisation…
…and a lot of intellectual handcraft…
